We all know Green Onions by Booker T. & The MGs practically by heart. The recording session for that song is quite amazing and it became one of the greatest instrumentals of all time. I came across a live performance of the song by the original band members and was blown away with how well and tight they still were years after the original version was recorded for Stax Records in Memphis, Tennessee.
Our Song of the Week is a tremendous live performance of Green Onions by Booker T. & The MGs. You'll note that they received a standing ovation as they were being introduced and before they even played a note.
Enjoy!
